As mentioned, if you go off of the flow chart and modify your rifle to be featureless there is no issue using a high capacity magazine as long as legally owned prior to 2000.

When I was younger I bought a bunch of hi-cap mags...I was going to collect them since I was saving money to buy a AR... never had the money then the ban came along.. I had the mags put away for years until I got an AR. so now...I have a featureless to use those mags I've had many many moons ago!

It's indeed true that you can use large capacity mags with a featureless build.
However, you would have to already own those mags prior to 1/1/2000 as you can no longer buy large capacity mags in CA anymore.
Also, you can not import them or manufacture them.

So, the mere ownership of a featureless AR won't be some magic ticket that allows you to buy large capacity mags...

We are still allowed to buy them. Dont forget about the Armored vehicle guys being able to sell to normal people, and also check this post out. It pretty much sums up that if a person illegally SELLS a high cap to someone who BUYS it, the buyer wont get nailed for "conspiracy" :

I cant wait till we can easily legally acquire high caps again, with both parties being legal. Too bad we dont know of any armored vehicle guys who will sell mags to us.

I didn't see it meantioned yet, and while it seems obvious:

"Featureless" simply means an absence of "evil features." It does NOT mean the absence of a bullet button. So, let's be clear for the newbies: if your rifle is truly featureless, you can remove your bullet button. If you want to run high caps in a featureless rifle, YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR BULLET BUTTON! If you do not, insertion of a high cap mag into said rifle will create an assault weapon.

I only mention this because I've seen, more than once, very cautious people say that they put bullet buttons on their featureless rifles "just to be safe" (even though you clearly don't have to). If you're one of those few "just to be safe" kind of guys, do not put high capacity mags in a bullet button-equipped rifle!

(Disclaimer: not only am I not a lawyer, I also want to point out that I prefer the sensible and traditional term "standard capacity magazine" and not the legal, demonizing term "high capacity magazine" and I only use the latter in this post to be as clear as I can.)

Personall I have no big deal shooting a 10 round magazine!!! Heck the way shooting ranges are closing it's hard enough just to get a couple hours of shooting set aside the super high price of ammo.

The 20 rounders with the mag blocks inside are fine with me cuz anything shorter is harder to remove the mag for reloading.

Still I prefer my AR's to have the bullet button and keep the so called evil features just for looks/convenience at the bench.

To have a need for anything larger than 10 rounds is OK with me but yeah I would like a 20 rounder again but it's illegal. What can the average shooter do? Nothing..... Just use the 10 rounder keeo your mouth shut and enjoy shooting safely.

I wouldnt say it was an *** comment since we dont know of any armored vehicle guys that will sell us high caps. So what I said may be somewhat useless concerning the armored vehicle companies (for now).

BUT, the ability to buy still exists. I know that lots of people who just DGAF will not mind selling their high cap mags for a quick buck. I know this is very common, just like FTF gun sales that dont happen through an FFL.

Ive been offered high caps on several occasions, and each time I passed on the offer.
However, if I were to buy the mags, I wouldnt be committing a crime. Id say thats a pretty important thing to know.

Newb here. Can someone explain this to me? I know what it means to have a featureless rifle (like a Mini-14) but why would a bullet button in combination with a large capacity magazine (LCM) make it an AR? Is it because any rifle with a LCM automatically classifies it as an AR?

First, I fixed it for you.

Second, a "fixed magazine" rifle with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds is an assault weapon in CA. Period. The lack of or presence of any "features" don't matter in this case. If you have a bullet button on your rifle, you cannot use high-cap mags. Period.

to PCC, this is the law that deals with large-caps in a fixed mag rifle

12276.1. (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following:
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds. not that it only applies to semi-auto centerfire rifles. it does not apply to rimfire rifles, or other centerfire action types. There is a separate "10+round fixed mag" law for pistols.

not on a semi-auto AR-pistol. a semi-auto AR-pistol needs to have a fixed mag of <11-rounds to be legal. A non-semi-auto AR-pistol can use large-cap mags, and detachable mags as well.

Negatory. Since a semi-auto AR pistol accepts a magazine outside of the pistolgrip, it triggers AW status IF the magazine is not fixed. And if the fixed magazine is >10 rounds, that also triggers AW status.

So with semi-auto AR pistol builds, you are limited to a <11 round fixed mag (w/bullet button).

I'm assuming you mean a buffer tube from a collapsible stock vs a dedicated pistol buffer tube? You can put any tube on there that will contain the buffer & spring, it can be formerly part of a collapsible stock as on icentropy's rifle , or it can be a pistol buffer tube that's incapable of accepting a stock. Either way's legal. You may be thinking of an AR pistol build where there's a federal "constructive possession" issue regarding a buffer tube that can accept a buttstock, and owning a buttstock that can fit it. That's not an issue with a rifle.

I also run the Type I config similar to that shown above and being super-tall I find it much more comfortable than a stock AR-15 with a pistol grip. We actually have customers in the free states who prefer this configuration as well and use the Hammerhead for the purpose of lowering the stock & getting a wooden rifle hold, not to meet any legal restriction.

A fake silencer is not a suppressor at all. It has no flash suppressing or sound suppressing function. We have recently started carrying the Spike's Tactical fake cans (https://www.exilemachine.com/store/index.php?cPath=27) to to put some evil back into the featureless build.

Spike's has cans in two varieties. Both have you remove (unscrew) the flash hider first. Either type would work with your upper.

The first kind slips on over the end of the barrel and shrouds about 6" of barrel. It screws on so that the end of the barrel and the end of the suppressor are flush. This makes it look like you have a shorter barrel than you do. The bullet flies free from the end of the barrel. It's as if you had a thread protector on there, so there's no attenuation of sound or flash.

The second kind threads on at the end of the barrel and adds about 6" of length to the barrel. The bullet leaves the barrel and flies directly through the bore in the fake can for about six inches. There are no baffles or flash suppressing features.

We currently only have the 1/2x28 threads in stock. We should have the 1/2 x 36 in stock soon though.

And I agree the Hammerhead "rifle" hand position is much more comfortable and natural feeling than using the pistol grip.

Thanks! Depends on what you grew up shooting I think.

Spike's has cans in two varieties. Both have you remove (unscrew) the flash hider first. Either type would work with your upper.

The first kind slips on over the end of the barrel and shrouds about 6" of barrel. It screws on so that the end of the barrel and the end of the suppressor are flush. This makes it look like you have a shorter barrel than you do. The bullet flies free from the end of the barrel. It's as if you had a thread protector on there, so there's no attenuation of sound or flash.

The second kind threads on at the end of the barrel and adds about 6" of length to the barrel. The bullet leaves the barrel and flies directly through the bore in the fake can for about six inches. There are no baffles or flash suppressing features.

We currently only have the 1/2x28 threads in stock. We should have the 1/2 x 36 in stock soon though.

Thanks! Depends on what you grew up shooting I think.

Learned on those .306's for deer season back in Wisconsin... :)

Grab one of each for me when they hit your shelves...

Thanx, DISC

Where's the hammerhead for us AK guys? ! ? Since MMG no longer makes ak models, the only commercial choice is the Solar Fin.
If nobody taps this market, I just might :)

PM inbound.

Meanwhile, have you tried a Monsterman with the AR/AK pistol grip adapter that ACE sells (http://riflestocks.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=326)?

That's exactly what the Monsterman AK grip was originally.

The ONLY difference is that the Monsterman had a line drawn on it showing where you should cut a little material off of to fit the AK.

But the AK Monsterman and the AR Monsterman were the identical product. The AK one just came with that line and the ACE grip adapter.
